1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Mash 3 very ripe bananas. Beat 100 g softened butter with 150 g sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in 2 eggs.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Banana bread is a moist banana cake baked in a loaf tin — made from very ripe bananas, juicy and full of flavour. A beloved café classic (especially in Australian café culture, often toasted with butter).

2. 2

   Stir the mashed bananas into the butter-egg mixture. Fold in 250 g flour (for a lighter texture, optionally add 1 tsp baking powder/bicarbonate of soda).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Very ripe bananas (brown-speckled) are essential — they are sweeter, more aromatic and make the cake moist. Do not overmix (otherwise it becomes tough). The eggs provide binding and some lightness. Optional additions: walnuts, chocolate chips, cinnamon.

3. 3

   Pour the batter into a loaf tin. Bake at 180 °C for 50–60 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (skewer test). Leave to cool.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Banana bread is served in slices (plain, toasted, with butter or cream cheese) for breakfast, with coffee or as a snack — the moist banana cake. A beloved café classic. Also a great way to use up ripe bananas.
